Here is what SANS alumni have had to say about their SANS conference training experience:
"Security is a big focus for our IT organization. This face-to-face training, with other companies' experiences is a very effective way to learn." - Michael Stothers, The Boeing Company
"SEC401 doesn't assume a starting level of knowledge but delivers all the essentials to understand how networks work before showing how to secure them." - Martyn Smith, Logically Secure Ltd.
"I never thought I could learn so much in such short time without feeling burned out. Great job making it engaging and interesting." - Jeff Eubanks, Mainstream Engineering Corp.
"In the 5-6 days I have had at SANS, one thing has consistently impressed me: the caliber of presenters and instructors. They are excellent. This to me is one of the greatest strengths of SANS. Yes, the course content is good, but the instructors make a good course or class into an outstanding one." - Jean Currie, Navy

Sporting events are no longer the most preferred target for terrorists, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Outdoor events, conferences, festivals, and other events featuring public figures are all vulnerable. And with over a thousand different-level attacks since 2015, it’s no surprise that safety and security are among the top concerns for event professionals.
